When attired in full AMG costume, the already gorgeous CLS63 just looks mean and aggressive. The gaping intakes, huge wheels, lowered suspension and subtle badges make it one to watch for. Power comes from the familiar – and spectacular – 6.2-litre V8 that punches out 507-hp in this application. Handling is good and solid, but less agile that you’d want. Interior gets unique front seats, more toys, and all the AMG logos you could ask for.
